He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends.My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him; as a school girl and young adult feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless 1 got straight As and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as successful as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my fathers friends for lunch at an outdoor cafe. We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my sons funny facial expressions. Gone was my fathers critical(挑剔的)air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?The next day my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, Im at last seeing another side of my father.

One New Jersey parent wants to help change that. Laura Overdeck grew up with numbers. She always helped measure ingredients when her mother baked, and she learned about angles(角) from her father. She went on to major in astrophysics in college. Overdeck knew she wanted her own children to be good at maths, too.“And when our first child was about two, we just started giving her a maths problem every night,” Overdeck said. The problem was usually a story, involving animals, cars or candies that let the kids count. “Our third child started, at the age of two, yelling that he wanted his own maths problem because he saw his brother and sister doing it. And we thought, “Wow, we have a household where maths is the popular thing at bedtime.” Overdeck said.In February, Overdeck launched Bedtime Maths, an Internet website where she posts daily puzzles for children. Overdeck is particularly keen to hook children on numbers before they go to school. So why introduce little ones to maths so early?Sian Beilock, an expert on performance anxiety, says the more fun and familiar maths is early on, the less likely children feel nervous when they start to learn maths in school. “My lab has shown recently that kids as early as first grade report feeling anxious about doing maths,” Beilock said.“You can hear totally educated adults say, You know Im just not that good at maths.or Im kind of afraid of maths.And thats a totally acceptable thing for a well-educated person to say, but you never hear them say, Well, you know, Im just not that good at reading, ”Overdeck said.She wants children and their parents to become fluent in numbers as they are in Harry Potter.25. Overdeck majored in astrophysics because she _.A. was really fond of mathematicsB. had an interest in teaching physicsC. hoped to change maths education in the USD. would like her children to be good at maths26. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 ?A. Toys can be used to encourage kids in solving maths problemsB.

Beilocks attitude towards Overdecks idea is _.A. anxious B. puzzledC. agreeableD. critical28. The unfavourable(不利的) situation of the US in maths ability is shown by_. A. peoples response to maths B. childrens performance anxiety in schoolC. the popularity of Bedroom Maths D. adults great fondness for Harry PotterCBelieve it or not, the ability to choose is the power to change.
